    I Told Myself I'm Not Switching Up This Year

    In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to lock in for twelve months — not from a grind or hustle place, but from a place of peace, clarity, and self-trust. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about choosing less noise, fewer distractions, and deeper alignment. I share why committing to yourself for a full year can be one of the most loving things you ever do — when you stop rushing, stop second-guessing, and let consistency be gentle instead of heavy. We’re unpacking: Why focus doesn’t have to feel stressfulHow slow commitment creates real changeWhat it looks like to stay devoted to yourself without burnoutAnd how soft life energy still requires intentionIf you’ve been feeling pulled in too many directions, tired of starting over, or craving a season where you actually feel present in your own life — this episode is for you. Press play, get comfortable, and let this be your reminder that ease and discipline can exist together. ✨ Stream From Survival Mode to Soft Life on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.

    Who Do You Love? Are You For Sure?

    Before you can love anyone else, you gotta love yourself first. In this episode of From Survival Mode to Soft Life, we’re talkin’ about filling your own cup, recognizing your worth, and loving in the overflow instead of the empty. We ask the hard question: Who do you love? Are you for sure? —because real love starts with you, queen. If you’ve been giving your energy to everyone else but yourself, it’s time to pause, reflect, and step into that self-love first. Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, and let’s vibe, heal, and learn to love ourselves so fully we can love everyone else without losing a piece of us.

  3. A Blocked Womb Blocks Your Bliss

    A Blocked Womb Blocks Your Bliss

    When the womb is blocked, it can quietly block your bliss. In this episode, we talk about how stress, survival mode, unspoken emotions, and constantly pouring out can settle in the womb and slowly block your bliss — disconnecting you from pleasure, softness, and joy. You may not even notice it at first… you just feel tired, numb, or like ease is always just out of reach. This is an invitation to return to your Divine Feminine. To slow down. To feel again. To let your womb exhale. Womb wellness isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering your natural rhythm, your intuition, your softness, your power. When you come back home to your body, bliss isn’t something you chase… it’s something you allow. If you’ve been carrying too much, this space is for you. Let’s soften what’s been holding on and open the door back to bliss.

    Episode #31: I Retired The "Good Girl" Facade

    In this episode, I’m just being real about how spending so much of my life trying to be the “good girl” and keep the peace slowly pulled me away from myself. I talk about where that people-pleasing showed up, how it started to feel heavy, and what it’s been like to finally loosen my grip on who I thought I had to be. This is one of those honest, heart-to-heart conversations about choosing yourself, trusting your inner voice, and letting life feel like yours again. And if this conversation resonates, Flow Feminine Wellness is there for you when you’re ready — it goes deeper into this journey of self-trust, healing, and learning how to move through your seasons with more ease and alignment.

    Episode 30: It's Coming: Shuffled Not Shaken

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing what it really feels like to walk through a chaotic season and still trust that everything I asked the Creator for is already on its way to me. Sometimes life isn’t falling apart — it’s just being rearranged. Pieces get shuffled, people get moved, doors close, and the path looks nothing like what we imagined… but it’s still leading exactly where we prayed to be. I talk about what it means to keep showing up with love, grace, and forgiveness while you’re in the middle of the storm. Not after it passes. Not when things make sense. But right here, right now, when everything is loud and messy and stretching you in ways you didn’t ask for. This episode is for anyone who’s navigating a hard chapter but refuses to let it harden their heart. Anyone who knows that divine timing is real. Anyone who understands that the Creator doesn’t deny — the Creator prepares. Tune in, breathe with me, and let’s walk this part of the journey together… still moving forward, still trusting, still choosing love.

    Episode 29: November 6th Divorce Update

    This week, I’m opening up with a real-life divorce update — not from a place of pain, but from peace. I’ve learned that sometimes Spirit won’t show you the full picture, because you’re meant to trust your way through it. This episode is about surrendering control, releasing timelines, and remembering that faith lives in the in-between — those quiet moments where you can’t see what’s next but you still keep going. If you’ve ever tried to hold it all together when life felt uncertain, this one’s for you. I’m sharing what it really looks like to let go, to listen, and to flow with Spirit instead of fighting against what’s unfolding. ✨ Listen in for a reminder that you don’t have to control everything — you just have to trust that what’s meant for you will meet you right on time.

    Episode #28: I'm More than a MOM- I'm a WOMAN.

    For a long time, I thought being a good mom meant giving all of me away — my time, my energy, my joy, my identity. I traded “me” for “mama” and wore the exhaustion like a badge of honor. But somewhere in the chaos, I realized that I wasn’t fully living — I was surviving. In this episode, I open up about how I lost myself in motherhood, especially as a Black woman raised to carry it all, do it all, and still smile through it. I talk about the moment I remembered that before I was anyone’s mama, I was me — a woman with dreams, desires, and a spirit that deserves pleasure, peace, and play. This is for every Black mom who’s ever felt guilty for wanting more than motherhood — for wanting herself back. You don’t have to choose. You can nurture your children and still nourish your soul. You’re a woman first, and that truth is powerful. ✨ Listen now to reclaim your joy, your softness, and your womanhood. 🎧 Grab your tea, your peace, and come flow with me.

    Episode 27: Freeing Myself, Foreal This Time: I Filed For Divorce & Finally Free’d Myself

    You ever look back at a version of yourself and realize she was holding her breath every single day just to make it look like she was “good”? Yeah… that was me. I filed for divorce. And not because I failed — but because I finally decided to live. For so long I was performing happy. Smiling on the outside while drowning on the inside… convincing myself that being “strong” meant staying silent, staying put, staying small. Whew. The way peace hits different when you stop forcing a life that’s suffocating you. In this episode, I’m opening up about choosing myself. About letting go of perfection, freeing myself from a life that wasn’t aligned, and stepping into the most authentic, rested, joyful version of me. And I’m sharing it not for gossip, not for attention — but because I know another woman is listening right now feeling trapped in a story she never actually chose. If you need a sign that it’s okay to prioritize your peace… baby, this is it. You can rebuild. You can rewrite the narrative. You can choose you — without shame, without performing strength, and without explaining yourself to anyone. Let’s talk about what liberation really feels like on the other side. And if you’re on your own healing journey — whether you’re a mama, in a transition, or learning how to stand in your truth again — I got you. My book Flow Feminine Wellness is filled with guidance, recipes, herbs, and rituals to nourish you from the inside out. You can also shop my teas, creams, and supplements, or work with me as your digital doula if you’re reclaiming your womanhood and your life. Because we don’t just survive seasons like this — we rise softer, stronger, and more aligned than ever.
